Because 2 or 3000 toffs living on some poxy island - smaller than Northern Ireland - in the middle of the South Atlantic want to remain British?
Ok, come and live in Britain.

The European Union classes the islands as an overseas country or territory of the UK, subject to EU law in some areas, and eligible for some European funding initiatives.[79] The inclusion of the islands in an appendix to the proposed European Constitution provoked a hostile Argentine response.[80] Its mention is retained in an annex to the treaty replacing the abandoned Constitution, the Treaty of Lisbon.
